Time on my hands, you in my arms,
Nothing but love in view
Then if you fall, once and for all,
I'll see my dreams come true.
Moments to spare for someone you care for,
One love affair for two,
With time on my hands and you in my arms,
And love in my heart all for you.

(Orchestral Interlude)

Moments to spare for someone you care for,
One love affair for two,
With time on my hands and you in my arms,
And love in my heart all for you.

TIME ON MY HANDS (Geraldo)


as recorded by Geraldo & his Orchestra 
(Len Camber vocal)


When the day fades away into twilight,
The moon is my light of love.
In the night I am quite a romancer,
I find my answer above.
To bring me consolation
This is my imagination,
You are my inspiration.

Time on my hands,
You in my arms,
Nothing but love in view.
Then if you fall,
Once and for all,
I'll see my dreams come true.


Moments to spare for
Someone you care for,
One love affair for two,
With time on my hands
And you in my arms,
And love in my heart for you.
